The current mi 6174 v1 motherboard doesn't exist anymore and I need a replacement. Emachines doesn't offer any help for any newer mb replacement. Their customer support doesn't give any info on what to do. So.....This motherboard has onboard sound, video, ethernet 10/100, 3 PCI slots, No AGP, 4 USB with 2 more via front connection. Currently using 2.8 celeron and 120 gb hd. I don't need anything more than a computer to do some research online. No upgrading is needed. I would like to have a motherboard which will fit my casing. I think I have a mATX, but honestly I don't know for sure. I don't need a powersupply or anything like that, just mb.

I took my compuer to a shop, and asked them to upgrade my compuer with more RAM and a Graphics card. They told me they couldn't because the slots to insert a Card or RAM were gone. They said the people who made it too them away to save money.

So I can't upgrade it. Well me and my friend opened it up ourselfs and found the slots. But why did he say they were gone? Could they disconect them? Is there anyway to upgrade it? By the way, my computer is a HP Pavillion Xp home edtion. I think they said it was made only for homework and internet, not for games.

i live in the ar*e of nowhere and as a result do not recieve broadband the only thing that fone companys will sell to me is ISDN, now i got the box from Eircomm but have hit a snag getting hold of a modem, I was told wen i asked for one in maplins "We dont sell them anymore theyre obselete"
i have tried the external usb modems and they cause nothing but trouble, the pc they are attached to frequently crashes especially wen somone picks up the housefone (the box is dual line and this happens even wen the pc is using one line), and the drivers are correct and up to date
Its annoying how they can sell the box but not the card

I ordered one from Watford Electronics (savastore.com) and it never arrived, i have chased it up but got sick of being lied to.

does anyone know of anywhere else that i can get a working card?

I am building a desktop computer. I want it to be great for gaming, video editing, etc. I have my eye on the Athlon 64 FX62 processor, but am open to suggestions. Also, which motherboard would you recommend to go with it? And what is a great video card for gaming?

I am hoping to keep the cost for everything under $600, but any suggestions would be great.

Thank You!

The lid has sticker residue, there are couple of holes, and cracks, and the cd cover to close the drive is totally snapped off. I don't even know whats between the keys.

Right now, I have to remove the USB card from my motherboard, shut down win98, reinsert the USB card, boot up my windows 98 (pentium 233). Then insert the USB flash drive into the card. Sometimes, the USB flash drive is detected and it works. Sometimes, it is detected as an UNKNOWN Device. i.e. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Would be happy if someone has any idea/tips to make it work all the time :)
